Looking forward to this one. Though the claim it is the first complete English language guide to China is laughable- who writes that tripe, you would think an academic press could do better?

I am unlikely to get to China. If anyone in UK would like my review copy please let me know.

Did they include Spelaeornis badeigularis in this book as this species was recently observed in Tibet?

Yes, they also include the entirety of it's global range as being part of China 😔

I think there must be a misunderstanding. My copy shows a very small part of China being marked with the range. But all of the map outside of China has a paler brown that has nothing to do with the range. The area outside of China is not depicted. Any claims China has in the area would of course be colored as well, but the maps are so small that such details in the area concerned can't be singled out by the uninitiated foreigner anyway.

If you look at the map outline, all of Arunachal Pradesh is included as Chinese territory in all the range maps. At least that's how it appears to me.
